Non-slip bath coating near Chaffcombe

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Chaffcombe

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Chaffcombe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Chaffcombe

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover Chaffcombe?

We do. We send a technician to Chaffcombe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Chaffcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Chaffcombe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
